Annalena is a fantastic dog walker and animal lover! She is reliable, experienced, truly cares about the dogs she works with, and makes sure they feel comfortable and engaged on their walks. We appreciate her patience and trustworthiness with our sassy little dog (13lb chug), who always comes back happy and well-exercised. We recommended her to my brother, who has also had wonderful experiences with her walking their 60lb husky/shepherd mix. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with kindness and attention, we highly recommend Annalena!

I can’t say enough great things about Jiaya! She has been amazing with my dog, Nugget, for both drop-in visits and walks. She is reliable, professional, and truly cares about the well-being of him😊. I always get updates and photos, which give me peace of mind knowing Nugget is in great hands. He comes back happy and well-exercised every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!

Malia was an absolute rockstar. Our kitties are usually pretty wary of new sitters but they warmed up to her right away. She was prompt and sent the cutest pics!

Heather is truly exceptional when it comes to caring for and training dogs. Not only does she have a deep understanding of doggy body language, but her ability to connect with them is amazing. She has a natural gift for reading their cues and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and understood. I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond for my dogs: Karter, Renfrow, and Lady. Heather’s patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I trust her completely to provide the best care. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer or caregiver for my fur babies.

It was a relief to have Anu as my cat’s caregiver for two weeks. She was very communicative and open about Nino’s needs, vey careful with being on time and sending messages about his perceptions on him. I would totally take her into account for future opportunities. I found Nino in good health and his litter boxes and water fountain well maintained.

Margaret is a great pet caretaker! She has taken care of my pointer mix rescue and showered her with lots of love and patience (even with her crazy squirrel hunting). Margaret shows great attention to making sure your pet is kept comfortable and at home under her care. Highly recommend!

About: I am a dog walker and trainer based in Emeryville. I am currently working towards my CTC to improve my training skills. I have experience training dogs big and small in single and multi dog homes. I use positive reinforcement (usually food) in my training and do not use aversive tools for training. I love teaching all sorts of behaviors, but especially love training good manners and leash walking skills. I offer regular dog walking for enrichment and exercise as well as training walks that work on walking and public behaviors. For pet sitting: I have owned large and small dogs, cats, insects, rats, fish, and other birds. I have owned a diabetic dog who requires insulin twice a day and a cat who received pills every day for her thyroid. I have experience giving medicine both orally and via shot using positive reinforcement. I’m am currently taking classes learning to be a dog trainer, I am looking for walking clients to get more experience with all types of dogs. I have an amazing friendly dog who is a Guide Dogs for the Blind career change. He is a working service dog, so he may come to sits or on walks if it’s appropriate.
